Summer picked up the thread. "Finding a boyfriend is fine, but you have to keep your eyes wide open. Find someone who loves you first. Whatever you do, don't be the first one to fall. In love, whoever falls first, loses."

'The Graces' Chat' were her closest confidantes, and he was leaving before they'd even had a chance to get to know him.

But it was for work...
